If you got the top ones, you'e need longer bolts. The bottom ones sort of include that, they look a bit dodgy though...

Bottom ones look dangerous, I think they would put too much strain on the hubs with my style of driving
Ive seen ones you bolt onto the hub before...........canny mind where from though!!

I think there'd be a lot of strain due to the 25mm Most i've known of round my way is 8mm......
I'd go with longer bolts and normal flat type spacers.

i got told by my mechanic the other day not to go over 10mm otherwise you risk damaging the hub/bearings etc.

10mm wont bring it out much though 
What about H&R ones, there a good make.

You want hubcentric spacers, lots more expensive but alot safer. I had 20mm spacers on my 205 and over 60mph the front wheels would vibrate like crazy

H&R ones are a bit pricy, anyone get anyone know any H&R suppliers??

I'm running a set of Eibach 25mm hubcentric spacers on the front of my track nova, they weren't cheap (about £70 IIRC) but they are TUV approved and top quality. Think Eurocarparts sell them.
